I too am planning on being at Summit. I have a NOS Left front fender for 1958 Studebakers, fits Champion, Commander,President models, for $225.00. Also have some side trim for 58 Packard sedan models, and a few 57-58 Golden Hawk small items. Contact me on here, and i'll bring them with me, and call your cell when i get there.
Thanks, Dave

Looking forward to it Bill. Had a day off yesterday and spent it reverse flushing the cooling system on the '54, and replacing all the hoses, which I haven't done for many years. That under-seat heater makes the hose changing a job where you have to pack a lunch before you start. When I was all done I felt like someone beat me all over with a ball peen hammer. I either need a lift or a floor pit if I'm going to keep doing this sort of work!

I tried to edit my posts but failed, so here are some comments on the above pictures from the show Saturday: First is Bill Pressler's "new" 66, a beauty. The black '64 Convert is the only one produced in South Bend in Black with a blue interior. It has a 3 spd on the column as well. Next is a nice '53 Red and white Commander next to my Blue '54. I like '57 sedans and this one was excellent. The '48 Champion was for sale and cute as a bug, with excellent patina! The '55 Willys was one of 288 Custom 2 door sedans made that year, and this is one of the 4 known to survive.

Next frame, the Packard contingent. About 10 or 12 Packards were there. The King Midgets made a strong showing. The Blue '64 had one for the Trekkies! The Hudson convert was close to perfect. The Ambulet picture would have been better if I had captured the large red light on top.

It was a beautiful day there. Upper 70s and low humidity. Great turnout too!

Glad to post some photos, Bill. I find posting pictures on here to be difficult, but I got it done. The only problem with the pictures was the photographer (me). I was using my cell phone camera and with the strong sunlight I couldn't tell what I was snapping half the time. I took a bunch more that just came out lousy, or not at all, so I'm glad I at least got the ones that I did.

Referring to your prior post, yes, I recovered from my repair soreness by Saturday, lol. I'm just grateful that I can still do some repair work on my own.

The Champion did okay on the trip. It is exactly 100 miles from my house to Summit. I held the speed to 60 to 65, and I only passed one truck on the trip, then he passed me again a short time later! Even with the OD the car only got about 21.5 mpg on the trip, but I'm just glad I got there and back in one piece.
